Parent Coaching

Meghan Howcroft Parent Coach

Imagine if parenting felt different.

Imagine if, in as little as six week, you could:

  • respond more calmly, without getting triggered and frustrated by your children

  • understand what’s underneath your child’s behaviour

  • feel confident in your parenting decisions

  • discover practical, evidence-based tools that actually helped solve your biggest challenges

  • have more cooperation and connection in your day-to-day

  • have more fun with your family!

This is where parent coaching comes in. This is the work we do together.

Does parenting feel harder than you expected?

You might be:

  • Exhausted by constant conflicts.

  • Second-guessing your parenting decisions.

  • Walking on eggshells around your kiddo’s big feelings.

  • Carrying anger, guilt or frustration on the daily.

You are not alone. And you do not have to navigate these challenges without support.

Let’s face it, all parents need help from time to time. Many of us feel ashamed when we hit parenting roadblocks - embarassed by our children’s behavior (or our own!) and uncomfortable talking about it even with close family and friends. So often it can feel like nobody understands.

And there is nothing natural (or easy) about parenting without support in our fast-paced, modern world. We barely have time to catch our breath, let alone solve parenting challenges on our own! I believe we were never meant to raise children like this, without the proverbial “village” to back us up and provide the support, advice and guidance that we all so desperately need.

I don’t believe parenting is about perfection. It’s about relationship, regulation, empathy and growth. And fun! Definitely it should be fun.

My goal is not just to “fix behaviour”. It’s to help your whole family feel more peaceful, communicate more effectively, strengthen your connection, reduce stress and conflict AND to create more joy in your everyday life.

My coaching combines compassionate support, practical strategies, child development insight, and individual guidance for your unique child and family…and all without any shame or blame. As your coach, I’m here to provide that listening ear, that advice, support and guidance that you DESERVE. I would be honoured to be part of your “village”!

Based on beautiful Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, I can work with clients all over the world via one on one coaching sessions over Zoom.

Investing in parent coaching is an investment in your family, your happiness and your child’s healthy development.

  • more empathy with a new ability to see things from their child’s POV

  • supported, instead of alone

  • hopeful about family life

“We were skeptical that coaching would help but it was so worth it! Meghan was incredibly knowlegable and compassionate. Not only did she help by changing our perspective but she also provided us with great action steps. We are enjoying our family time so much more now and are so grateful we did these coaching sessions. We will definitely do more in the future if things come up.”

Abey and Mat - parents of a 4 and 7 year old - Canada

“I approached Meghan as a very distressed parent, whose child had recently been diagnosed with a severe stage of neurodiversity. I was devastated and lost, and didn't know what to do to help my child. Meghan's support has been key for me to find my ground to support both my child and myself to navigate through these difficult times. Her gentle approach, immense wisdom and understanding left me calm and hopeful after each session. Her incredible knowledge and her recommendations for additional resources brought me to a place of peace, compassion and hope for the future ahead. I cannot recommend Meghan enough for anyone struggling to be a more peaceful parent, and I won't doubt to go back to her should I need her support in the future. Thank you, Meghan, from the bottom of my heart.”

Tatiana - mama of a 10 year old - New Zealand

“As an exhausted, burnt-out mama with a deeply-feeling, high-energy, VERY attached 4 year old, I came to Meghan looking for advice in how to make our days a little more easeful. Working with Meghan felt supportive, reassuring, and validating. She held space for all the (really) hard stuff, shared ideas on how to support and co-regulate with my kids, and helped shift my perspective and expectations in a way that helped create more peace and joy.”

Ari - mama of a 4 year old and a 10 month old - Canada

“It’s one thing to read a book or follow a podcast and it’s another to get personal support! I have gained so much from my work with Meghan. She has helped me with this journey of parenthood, translating the Peaceful Parenting guidance into things I can do every day. Her reminders about connection and selfcare have had a lasting, positive impact in our family. I am so grateful I have been able to work with her!”

Elizabeth - mama of a 13 and 15 year old  - Canada
